🌿A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our sold-out elder workshop, “Herbalism: Where Art Meets Science,” last Wednesday. It was wonderful to connect and share the herbal magic of elder with such an enthusiastic group. Your energy and curiosity made the event truly special.💫⁣

Mark your calendars for our next workshop on October 15, where we’ll be diving into one of my personal favorites: dandelion!

What’s your poison? ☠️⁣
⁣
We might be just a tad obsessed with our brand-new apothecary mugs, and honestly, who could blame us? 😍⁣
⁣
Inspired by the iconic 1975 Poison mug series designed by the talented John Clappison of Hornsea Pottery, this magical collaboration with Magpie has brewed up something special old apothecary styles. Here’s the scoop:⁣
⁣
✨ Cobalt blue glazed stoneware that’s as stunning as it is sturdy.⁣
✨ Real gold (yes, you read that right!) plated ‘poison’ design that adds a touch of luxe.⁣
✨ Comes in a fabulous gold-foiled and cobalt printed gift box—perfect for gifting or treating yourself!⁣
✨ Capacity: 330ml.⁣
✨ Dimensions: 8.5cm (diameter) x 8.5cm (height).⁣
⁣
Now, a quick note—these beauties aren’t microwave or dishwasher safe. But honestly, who microwaves tea anyway? And frankly, who cares just look at them! 😍⁣
⁣
The cherry on top? You can snag one from our apothecary—choose between the enchanting Belladonna, aka Deadly Nightshade still used by herbalists today (hands off though it’s a schedule 20 herb) or the striking Strychnine versions. ⁣
⁣
Feeling thirsty? We got you. Swing by for a brew and sip on our hand-blended herbal teas or adaptogenic coffees, all served in your very own poison mug! ☕💚 ⁣
